Always Pan

For those that have been following me, I became a fan of the brand during quarantine and it is not only versatile (it replaces 8 traditional pieces of cookware), it’s also gorgeous on your stovetop. They also came out with a new color Blanch, that has been sold out since it launched. My favorite is the lavender color. it brings joy to my kitchen!

Minimal, elegant , sustainable and durable. Designed in Vancouver but thoughtfully made by Portuguese ceramicists in central Portugal. They use locally sourced recycled ceramics, and clay from just a few miles up the road, to create a product you can feel good about using every single day. I have the the dinnerware in the color Blush , serving plate in speckled white, and serving bowl in midnight blue. They are so elegant that you’d want these out on an open shelf in your kitchen for display.

Laneige Gummy Bear Lip Mask

I’ve been using Laneige for over 10 years. They have the best sleeping mask on the market. The lip mask in the Gummy Bear scent is my ultimate favorite. I hope they release this in the sleeping face mask at some point as well. In the meantime, treat yourself to the lip sleeping mask and lip balm!

La Mer Crème de la Mer

This is one cream I will always have in my skincare routine. It’s either a love it or hate it product. Many people have said it’s basically Nivea Cream, but I actually tested that theory and it is definitely not the same. Find a texture that is best suited for your skin type.

The Best K Beauty Facial Cleanser You Need Right Now

Many of you don’t know that I used to have a moderately successful skincare blog where I reviewed luxury skincare products. I had to stop doing it when I got a job doing PR for a luxury retailer where I couldn’t discuss or talk/review brands we carried.

Skincare has always been a passion of mine as I used to suffer from acne. I was set on trying everything possible on the market to get healthy glowy looking skin. With that said, let’s get to the product review!

What is it:

Treatment Enzyme Exfoliating Powder Cleanser

Description (from their site):

A transformative powder to foam daily exfoliating cleanser with green tea probiotic-derived enzymes and hyaluronic acid that purifies, hydrates and helps to strengthen the moisture barrier.

Take skin from dull to radiant with this hydrating, exfoliating, powder to foam cleanser. The hyaluronic acid infused formula hydrates skin while effectively eliminating pore clogging debris, dead skin cells & excess sebum with green tea probiotic-derived enzymes. The non-abrasive formula is gentle enough to be used up to twice daily as part of any cleansing routine.

My take:

First off, AmorePacific is the gold standard in K Beauty skincare. They’ve been in the industry for years. For full disclosure, I received the product from them, but they didn’t ask me to do a review on my site. I wanted to. I have been using their products for over 10 years. The same company also owns Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Innisfree, Mamonde, Primera and IOPE.

The cleanser is powder to foam, meaning once it comes with contact with water, you rub it between your hands, transforming it into a foam texture. It is formulated with green tea enzymes, which helps to gently exfoliate the skin and hyaluronic acid, which helps to keep your skin hydrated .

It is very gentle on the skin and doesn’t make your face dry after cleansing. Skin feels supple and clean immediately after.

Final Thoughts:

It is a very gentle cleanser. I love the whole powder to foam idea. I use it along with the Laneige Cream Skin Milk Oil Cleanser. I use that during the day and the Treatment Enzyme Exfoliating Powder Cleanser at night. It’s perfect for all skin types and like most of their products, they are even great for sensitive skin types.

Price: US $68

Worth it: YES!
